Pressure Cooker Cheesy Ham Chowder is perfect for warming up on a cold or damp day. This simple creamy soup makes a hearty meal. This recipe combines two great flavor combinations – ham and cheese and potato and cheese. While this soup is a great way to make use of leftover ham, it’s so hearty and comforting that you’ll want to buy or make ham just for the purpose of making this soup. Here’s how I make Pressure Cooker Cheesy Ham Chowder.

When the cooking cycle finishes, do a quick pressure release.

Add a little milk if you want to thin the soup out a bit. Add a little corn starch if you want to thicken it a little.
Serve and enjoy!
